Trouble doing laundry. Anyone else struggling with simple daily tasks?

My husband&I had covid in Jan '20.
Fatigue lingering still. I really struggle cooking, which I've always loved & been good at. Rarely needed written recipes. Often now I still can't taste so seasonings are out of balance, but finally some smelling has returned. I have brain fog that affects my memory for ingredients and cooking details. I've lost confidence big time.

17+ months long COVID…
The worst part for me with the brain fog (only one of my many persistent symptoms), is that in the moment I think I’m doing [the task] well and then later find I missed steps in the process. IE: Toasting air because I forgot to actually put the bread into the toaster before turning it on; forgetting to process a customer’s payment - to the tune of $3000+ - before shipping out product. Sometimes discovering the error a year later and then having to go through legal channels to collect… things like that. Very frustrating for someone with OCD tendencies and a stickler for details! I feel I’m letting people down, including myself.
